Artificial Intelligence, Scientific Discovery, and Product Innovation

Summary

This document is a research paper that explores the impact of AI on the materials discovery process within a large R&D lab. The paper uses a randomized controlled trial to analyze the effects of introducing an AI tool to scientists, examining how it impacts the discovery, patenting, and commercialization of new materials. It finds that AI significantly accelerates the pace of discovery, but its effectiveness is highly dependent on the scientist's ability to evaluate the AI-generated suggestions, revealing the critical role of human judgment in the process. The paper further investigates how AI changes the allocation of tasks for scientists, resulting in a reallocation of time from idea generation to evaluation, and ultimately impacting job satisfaction and beliefs about the future of work.
